Hanco, we got a quarter a bale.
Beer money. Gas money.
It may have been 10 cents apiece-30 cents a bale. The other two boys are dead. 69 and 70 was no fire ants. I hauled a little in 71 after I graduated, fire ants all in the bales. I was done after we got it all out of the field.
We were hauling for George Mitchell of Mitchell Energy. His wife Cynthia made us lunch. The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is named after her. He could certainly afford 30 cents a bale.
